Trump Calls Off Iran Attack at Gulf States' Request The sudden cancellation of a military strike against Iran by President Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through the global community, raising more questions than answers about his motivations.
The decision came after reportedly being advised to do so by officials from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Oman, who had urged restraint amidst rising tensions between Washington and Tehran.
The crisis that nearly escalated into a military confrontation was sparked by the US drone strike on Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani in early January.
